Description: Bladesmith Nick Wheeler is one of the most promising up and coming makers anywhere. He has an attention to detail, rarely found in the work of others. His satin finish is meticulously performed. His grind lines are perfect. The meeting between blade, bolster, and handle is beyond compare. The handle fits perfectly into the hand, with a gentle swell at the palm and a more pronounced swell at the butt. The stabilized box elder burl has a very dramatic grain structure with warm tones. Exceptional work throughout from a maker to watch!
